Payroll User Alert reminder

March 24, 2026

Reminder letters and emails were sent to all Quantum customers still using the Payroll module to find a new Payroll system this year - 2026.  The Alert letter reminded customers that if you are still using Quantum for your payroll after January 1, 2027, there will be nobody available to assist with End-of-Year forms (such as W2s and 1099s) in 2027.  The Support Desk will have closed long before that time.

Geneva announces the Sunsetting of the Quantum Support Desk

August 1, 2025

Letter were mailed, and emails sent, announcing the Sunsetting of the Quantum Support Desk slated for August 1, 2027.

Quantum, originally called MCBA Classic, was one of the first Enterprise-Wide solutions to market with the advent of the mini-computer platforms.  Through a large network of Reseller organizations, the MCBA solution quickly became a popular software system to use for companies around the world.  In 1997 the character based MCBA Classic system was transformed to a Windows based system, called Quantum, running on Windows and Unix networks.

In 2025, after 50+ years, it was decided that Quantum was no longer an attractive solution in the marketplace.  When Quantum came on the scene there were a small handful of competitors.  Today, there seems to be a countless number of companies offering Accounting, Distribution and Manufacturing solutions.  These new systems incorporate AI, are typically hosted in the Cloud and use relational databases out of the box.

Current Quantum customers have been given two years to look for, evaluate, select and implement a replacement for their Quantum systems.  The leadership at Geneva feels that is more than enough time to accomplish what must be done.
